Highlight waxed copper blocks when holding honeycomb
Screenshots





About this Mod
WaxyVision adds a highlight overlay to waxed blocks that only appears when holding a honeycomb.

It works on all vanilla waxed copper blocks, as well as copper golems and signs if installed on the server. The behavior is similar to barriers and light blocks, but unlike barriers and light blocks the overlay appears and disappears instantly.
Optional on Servers
This mod is mostly client-side, however the vanilla server does not tell clients if signs or active copper golems are waxed. Installing the mod on the server will allow displaying waxed signs & copper golems. This will not prevent vanilla clients from joining the server.
Configuration & Keybinds
Through configuration you can turn the mod on & off, show the overlay even when not holding a honeycomb, and change which items cause the overlay. You can also set keybinds to toggle these settings. Install McQoy for a config GUI and find the keybinds in the keybinds menu.

The config file is located at config/waxyvision.toml

Compat
WaxyVision contains native support for these mods:
- Maglev
- The Copperier Age (Except chimes)
Support for other mods can be requested on GitHub or added via resourcepack.
Resource Packs
Most of the overlays are controlled by resourcepack. See the wiki for a description of the format and the source code for examples.
Entities & block entity renderers are hardcoded and cannot be controlled by resourcepack. This includes:
- Sign/Hanging Sign (before 26.2)
- Copper Golem
- Copper Golem Statue
- Copper Chest
⚠️ Known issue: block overlays do not work when Modern Fix Dynamic Resources is enabled, and copper golem overlays will not work when Dynamic Entity Rendering is enabled. Copper golems statue & sign overlays will not work with Better Block Entities.
Credits
This mod was inspired by a YouTube comment, sadly I cannot remember which video or user it was. The design was inspired by Vanilla Tweaks' Visual Waxed Copper resourcepack.
WaxyVision does not endorse tax evasion

Server lagging with WaxyVision – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if WaxyVision consumes the most tick time.
